Septoplasty (Restore Your Breathing With Ease)

· Those in Tokyo looking for nose reshaping treatments.
· Those with constant nasal blockage.
· Those who want to correct a deviated nasal septum.
· Those who wish to reduce snoring or sleep-related breathing issues.
· Those who wish to combine nasal function and cosmetic nose surgery.

Septoplasty is a surgery performed to straighten a deviated nasal septum – the wall between the nostrils. A crooked septum can block airflow, making it hard to breathe through the nose and causing issues like snoring or sinus problems. Septoplasty helps improve breathing, reduce nasal congestion, and may also lessen snoring. It can be done on its own or combined with cosmetic nasal surgery. The procedure involves adjusting or removing parts of the septum to improve airflow.

Septoplasty is typically performed under local or general anesthesia. The doctor at our affiliated clinic makes a small incision inside the nostril to access the nasal septum. Using specialized surgical tools, parts of the cartilage and bone are trimmed, repositioned, or removed to straighten the septum and open the airway. The procedure is done entirely inside the nose, so no external scars are left. In some cases, nasal splints or soft packing may be placed inside the nose to support healing and maintain the new structure. The surgery usually takes less than an hour and focuses on improving nasal airflow and function.

1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. Local anesthesia will be administered.
3. A small incision will be made inside the nostrils.
4. The cartilage and bone will be trimmed, repositioned, or removed.
5. Internal splints or soft packing may be placed.
6. The incision will be closed with dissolvable sutures.
7. Post-care instructions will be provided by the doctor.

Q1: Is Septoplasty a major surgery?
A1: No, Septoplasty is generally considered a minor to moderate surgical procedure. It is typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can return home the same day.

Q2: Is bone removed in Septoplasty?
A2: Yes, in some cases. If the bony part of the septum is causing obstruction, small portions of bone and cartilage may be removed or reshaped to straighten the septum and improve airflow.

Q3: Does Septoplasty grow back?
A3: No, the septum does not “grow back,” but tissue can shift during healing, or scar tissue can form, which may cause a recurrence of symptoms in rare cases.

Q4: What age can you get a Septoplasty?
A4: Septoplasty is usually performed after nasal growth is complete, typically around age 15 to 17 for females and 16 to 18 for males.

Q5: What can ruin a Septoplasty?
A5: Poor healing, trauma to the nose after surgery, smoking, infection, or not following post-care instructions can negatively affect the outcome. Incomplete correction or tissue shifting can also impact results.
